This article discusses relevant information for the dental sector regarding metastatic cancers beyond breast and prostate cancer. Typically, tumour sites such as lung, renal, colorectal, gastrointestinal, thyroid, hepatic and pancreatic cancers are increasingly being referred for bone-targeting agents upon evidence of bone metastases.The current article explores the presenting dental status of these tumour groups on the background of survival outcomes.
